True Charity.

1t is an inadequate Interpretation of
charity to think of it as mere alms-giving.
You speak OF a certain person known to
be friend to the poor. s'There is MIR. ky
you say. "He is a very generous man.
He can't keep money. He doesn't know
the value of money. He would give away
his last cent" Your friend replies: Eyes,
and he is one Of society's most dangerous
enemies. He gives indiscriminately. He
gives because he hasn't the courage to saw
mol And hundreds and thousands of shift
less and crafty bummers, frauds, tramps,
cranks and other vermin just live and per,
petuate themselves On that kind of beney-
olence," and that is true. Begging is a
business. People get rich at it. Crime is
encouraged by it. Only recently a poor
English woman left alone with a little sick
~ babe found that the child excited the
sympathy of the people, and she carried It,
poorly clad and hungry, in her arms from
house to house. Money poured in. She
made quite little fortune But the cruel.
heartless exposure, and long-continued
hunger slowly murdered the child Every
one that gave SO much as a penny helped
to kill that baby. So, if charity meant
simply alms-giving, you could easily mag
Inc conditions and circumstances wherein
1t would be an injury to the world ss.

The prosperous farmer, like every

probity in dealing not only insures re-
spect, but enables him to get better
prices than he who does not strictly re-
gard his word.
The man honorable in his dealings
may be a man as keen in his bargains
or in getting prices as he who does NOT
strictly regard his word. He is more
apt to figure closely in personal ex-
penses, while at the same time beng
liberal in all things. He is apt to ieei

he drives his work; it never drives nlla
He hires only the best help, treats MS
